np problem if u can't work in CLI mode
use ExplorerFS in windows xp to extact ur /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Alternatively u can use a Live cd

Enjoy Tweaking!

Code:

Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection

 Option          "AIGLX" "true"

those added lines removed from xorg.conf
and xserver started again.

praka123 · 01-03-2007, 06:54 PM

Now it's easy.pls carefully edit; use:

Code:

~$ gksudo gedit  /etc/X11/xorg.conf

after editing dont forget to save the file.
first add the option load dbe

Code:

Section "Module"
        Load    "bitmap"
        Load    "dbe"
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "dri"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "record"
        Load    "type1"
        Load    "vbe"
EndSection

secondly:
after "Section Device
add the following:

Code:

Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection

save the file.try the command below in a terminal to goto single user mode.

Code:

~$sudo telinit 1

after it prompts u to login or press CTRL+D,,try the second option press ctrl+d and wait if X and GNOME loads successfully.
ps:In beryl site,they put something on kernel-2.6.15..mean something with DRI.anyways we should try

try

Code:

~$ glxinfo |grep rendering

nach p · 01-03-2007, 07:22 PM

yes did as u said
~$ glxinfo |grep rendering

Code:

direct rendering: Yes

anyway hats off 2 u guys who helps us 2 face prob regarding GNU/linux

praka123 · 01-03-2007, 09:45 PM

^^ what?did u tried my suggestions?

nach p · 01-03-2007, 10:47 PM

yup made changes as u stated above
then given ~$sudo telinit 1
it went 2 single user mode and logged in automatically

then Pressed ctrl+D and Gnome loaded successfully

praka123 · 01-03-2007, 10:50 PM

now try

Code:

~$beryl-manager &

nach p · 01-03-2007, 11:12 PM

~$beryl-manager &
[1] 7323

btw all these stpes am doin just blindly
but nevermind one day i will be able 2 understand all these

praka123 · 02-03-2007, 12:06 AM

^^ did u saw a red diamond icon on top right of gnome-panel?if yes beryl is launched.you need to theme it with emerald theme
edit Pls verify that the line:
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

is on the section device:

Code:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics Controller"
	Driver		"i810"
	BusID		"PCI:0:2:0"
       Option   "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"   "true"
EndSection

nach p · 02-03-2007, 05:39 AM

yes diamond is on top rite side

do i have 2 add it manually ?
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

coz its not in xorg.conf

praka123 · 02-03-2007, 05:59 AM

@nach:
seems beryl is loaded.but you needs a theme for beryl.
try:

Code:

~$sudo apt-get update &&  apt-get install emerald emeral-themes

after this,try right clicking beryl-manger(diamond icon) and try reloading Window manager and WIndow decorator.Also make sure that the Select Window Decorator>Standard Beryl
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Yes you must need that line in ur section device .see my post above.just check

nach p · 02-03-2007, 06:16 AM

yes added line in section device
given ~$sudo apt-get update && apt-get install emerald emeral-themes
reloaded both Window manager and WIndow decorater and
standard beryl under window decorator .

so what should I do?
is whole process completed or what ?

praka123 · 02-03-2007, 06:29 AM

^^ Did u see any difference?at the window borders?smooth GFX?try hold pressing CTRL+ALT+left mouse key clicked on the screen and try moving the mouse=any 3d effects?

make sure u have selected beryl decorator by right clicking the beryl icon on right top of gnome panel scroll down>Select Window decorator>beryl use left mouse click to select.

nach p · 02-03-2007, 06:41 AM

nah no smooth borders,gfx etc.
same as running Gnome.
Select Window decorator>beryl
already done.

when select window manager ->beryl
screen flickers 3-4 times and option Metacity gets selected.

I think I will go for Ubuntu 6.10 or Suse 10.2 .

praka123 · 02-03-2007, 06:48 AM

the kernel version u use is 2.6.15 na?depends on ur luck.
@nach:you need to restart to confirm whether beryl works or not.as i assume u just now only added the option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics Controller"
	Driver		"i810"
	BusID		"PCI:0:2:0"
       Option   "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"   "true"
EndSection

just audit ur /etc/X11/xorg.conf for everything OK and restart

nach p · 02-03-2007, 06:56 AM

yup its 2.6.15
restarted but still no effects
anyway thnx for lettin me try beryl .

Which one should I download suse 10.2 or Ubuntu 6.10

and hey have u changed u r id ?Is it was Prakash Kerla .....?

praka123 · 02-03-2007, 07:06 AM

yeah,your distro seems to be a little old;but u may be able to achieve the effects-it needs to be sortout-what is wrong with DRI pkg with dapper-upgrading to a kernel gr8er than 2.6.15 like 2.6.17 i believe definitely help
:If u want a Beryl distribution there is a ubuntu derived beryl distro:
UBERYL
another option:
ubuntu ultimate edition-i feel apt and dpkg are better for Linux pkg management-so Debian based distros.no distro trolling

try it
@nach:yes i changed my uid 2 praka123:

I PMed fatbeing to do the change

nach p · 02-03-2007, 07:11 AM

how can I upgrade existing Kernel

praka123 · 02-03-2007, 07:13 AM

search in menu Desktop>administration>synaptic package manager for linux-image.xx or for older distros kernel-image

nach p · 02-03-2007, 07:24 AM

better I will download Ubuntu 6.10.

THnx again 2 all of u guys .

nach p · 08-03-2007, 01:57 PM

hey just installed beryl on Ubuntu 6.10
OMG what a gr8 effects ,specially ctrl+alt+left click and while draggin
